Yah, noticed this too. Pretty embarrassing.

I am pretty sure you add chunks of commentary as you progress through the build of the game. It doesn't all go in at once. There are still probably glitches and lines play when they shouldn't BUT....This is not an excuse. If in fact this was a promotional video released by EA then they shot themselves in the foot once again. You would think, at some point, they would learn not to give the community ammo, because some members are carrying howitzers.

When you are marketing something or demo-ing it, you are showing it with the intent for people to see what you have. Why would they show it if it was THAT unfinished? This is why I believe it isn't going to get much better. It is what it is.

I don't know man. I mean I'm not trying to stick up for EA here. (haven't bought Madden since 10) but to not even say players names or the teams? and this is with 82 hours of commentary. I just refuse to believe it.

If I am wrong then I will be the first to admit it and let EA know what I think about it.

So, we didn't we get the complete audio today for over 1 hr presentation? No crowd chants, no crowd swells, nada?

Chase said afterwards they didn't show any game play for an obvious reason. June 4th.

June 4th the whole enchilada better be laid out, though.

I just feel we haven't been privy to see what's all behind door number 1.

We'll see.

June 4th seems to be putting a lot of pressure on this development team. Even so, after watching that NBA 2k video, I'm completely blown away. That is absolutely unbelievable. It looks photo-realistic and sounds exactly like a real broadcast. Absolutely amazing. I wish I was the NBA fan I was 6 years ago, I'd be playing that and wouldn't care. How do the guys at Tiburon react when they see this stuff? Do they scratch their head? Does it let them know they have a lot of catching up to do? Do they get discouraged? I'm asking seriously. That's just LIGHT YEARS beyond what we have with Madden.

I own 2k12, it's a great game, some even feel 11 was better. Love the commentary, but with any commentary, it does get repetitive game after game using your team. I just tend to block it out.

I'm more interested in how smooth it sounds. Is it natural? It needs to sound like the guys weren't recorded, instead it should sound like they are doing a live telecast of that game you are playing.
